Suggest Artists for Last.fm discover

Hey Everyone,

We'd like to know what artists you'd like to hear on Last.fm discover. We're primarily looking for new music, but that doesn't have to mean unknown. Are they racing up your local charts? Are they killing it at clubs and bars around your town? Did they play the small stage at your favorite festival last year?

Basically, it's an open forum. Give us an Artist, a link, and a reason!

In Philly, there are a few artists that have been grinding for some time now. They are very talented and have yet to get the shine they deserve. But recently, they are gaining momentum... and you'll be seeing more of them soon, I'm sure. Check out.... DistantStarr, 2ew Gunn Ciz, Symbols of Sex and Nico the Beast. You won't be disappointed.

A rather new pop punk acoustic act by Josh Koterba, who does all the guitar, bass, keys, and drums by himself. His music is addicting and is really fun to listen too. I'd say his similar artists would be somewhere along the lines of Owl City, and nevershoutnever!. He decided to release his more recent EP for free on Pure Volume and was one of the ways I discovered him.

Zanois

They are a garage prog family band from Manchester, NH. If that doesn't sound interesting enough already, I'll tell you some more about them.

They just self-recorded and produced their first album The Benevolent Beast and I saw them a couple months ago at The Rabbit Hole in Fitchburg. They play with non-stop aggression and energy, and yet there is an element of peaceful tranquility blended in there somewhere. I really think they're worth everyone's listen.

They've also been known to play covers from such varying artists as Genesis, The Arcade Fire, Macy Gray, Beck, Katy Perry, Peter Bjorn and John, and the theme song from the Office.

I've spoken to some of the band members after shows, and they tell me that they get a lot of fans from last.fm. Their music gets tagged and loved on this site a lot. I think that's a great reason to feature them!

The Timecat They are a new post-punk/ indie band from Jacksonville Florida. They Just played a show at Shantytown in Downtown Jacksonville and were real good. They also have said that they plan on playing a lot of shows this summer in the Florida/Georgia area. Great new band.Listen to a few of their songs:PaganIn the ZooBad Blood
